This thought, like a flash of lightning cutting through the darkness, instantly illuminated Zhou Huai's mind.

If it was really like this.

As long as Li Qiu was knocked off the Silver Dragon and their life connection was broken.

This seemingly unresolvable guy would instantly transform from a tanky bruiser back into a fragile Summoner.

By then, killing him would be as easy as flipping a hand.

He thought it, so he did it.

Watching a new wave of Dragon Breath coming overwhelmingly, Zhou Huai didn't hesitate at all.

He controlled Yasuo, who flicked his wrist, and another shuriken was thrown out, nailing itself to the remains of a building above and to the side.

【Thunder Blink Seal】!

His figure instantly vanished.

The moment his figure reappeared, Zhou Huai didn't pause, his fingers moving continuously as one shuriken after another was shot into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

Using these shurikens as stepping stones, Yasuo's figure flickered continuously in the air, each teleportation bringing him closer to the Silver Dragon in the sky.

This incredible scene made Li Qiu's eyelids twitch.

"Again?"

He immediately felt a headache; this guy's teleportation skill was simply unreasonable. Did he not have a cooldown?

Was he a Lightning-type or a Space-type user?

However, Li Qiu was already prepared.

He urged the Silver Dragon, accurately predicting Yasuo's next appearance location and evading in advance.

The moment Yasuo's figure appeared on the Silver Dragon's flank, the enormous Dragon Tail, covered in silver scales, was already poised, sweeping fiercely with a tearing whistle through the air!

Zhou Huai's pupils constricted.

He wanted to teleport away again, but it was already too late.

In a hurry, he could only hold the 【kingslayer's edge】 in front of him to block.

"Clang—!"

The golden longsword and the enormous Dragon Tail collided with a deafening metallic clang.

An irresistible, terrifying force came from the sword body.

Yasuo felt his arms instantly lose sensation, and his entire body was like a badminton shuttlecock hit by a high-speed racket, uncontrollably plummeting towards the ground.

"It's over!"

Seeing this, Li Qiu's face revealed a cold smile of certainty.

He immediately ordered the Silver Dragon beneath him to open its huge mouth, and a Dragon Breath, condensed with terrifying energy, mercilessly pursued the falling figure below, vowing to blast him into smithereens.

However, in the next second, the smile on Li Qiu's face completely froze.

The figure that should have been falling helplessly in the air had strangely disappeared again.

"What?"

Li Qiu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

This guy, in such a high-speed fall, still had the energy to use shurikens for displacement?

How was this possible?!

The moment Li Qiu subconsciously searched for Yasuo's position around him.

An extreme sense of crisis suddenly erupted from behind him!

He turned his head sharply.

That face that made his scalp tingle was, at some point, already within arm's reach.

"How could this be?!"

Li Qiu's mind went blank; he completely couldn't understand.

He had clearly avoided all the shurikens, so why could this guy still teleport behind him?

The reason was simple.

The moment he was slapped away by the Dragon Tail just now.

Zhou Huai, controlling Yasuo, had silently left a 【Thunder Seal】 on the Dragon Tail that struck him.

He didn't need shurikens at all.

As long as the seal was there, he could return to the Silver Dragon's side at any time!

At such a close distance, Li Qiu could even see the madness in Yasuo's eyes.

"Now!"

The Thunder Armor on Yasuo's body suddenly flared!

Li Qiu felt a powerful electric current instantly spread throughout his body, his body stiffened abruptly, falling into a temporary state of paralysis, unable to move at all.

An opportunity!

Zhou Huai was waiting for this very moment!

He grabbed Li Qiu's neck, his arm muscles bulging, and actually forcefully threw this man, who was over one meter eighty tall, off the Dragon's back!

"I'd like to see if you'll die this time!"

Zhou Huai's face revealed a chilling, cold smile.

In mid-air, Li Qiu's body was unable to move due to paralysis, only able to let himself fall towards the ground.

The composure and calmness on his face had long vanished without a trace.

In its place was an unparalleled shock and horror.

This guy... actually saw through my weakness so quickly!

When did such a Prodigy appear in Donghai City?

The shadow of death, for once, enveloped him so clearly.

A hint of despair flashed in his eyes.

Only one thought remained in his mind.

Oh crap, I've really messed up this time.

Zhou Huai was controlling Yasuo, about to give chase.

"Roar—!"

The Silver Dragon, having lost its master, let out an earth-shattering roar of fury!

A Dragon's might, even stronger than before, instantly erupted!

Yasuo's body stiffened abruptly, and just like Li Qiu, he fell into a state of paralysis.

The Silver Dragon didn't hesitate at all, its huge Dragon Wings flapped, shaking off the immobile Yasuo, and its massive body transformed into a silver stream of light, diving towards the rapidly falling Li Qiu!

It was going to rescue its master!

Zhou Huai's brows furrowed.

The opportunity he had ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) painstakingly created must not be let go so easily!

He exerted all his strength, painstakingly controlling Yasuo's stiff fingers, pulling out a shuriken from his storage space, and with his last bit of strength, hurled it fiercely in the direction Li Qiu was falling!

One Dragon, one shuriken.

Both reached their maximum speed.

In the pitch-black rainy night, one above and one below, they sped towards the same target.

Just as the shuriken, wrapped in lightning, was about to hit Li Qiu's body!

The diving Silver Dragon suddenly opened its gaping maw.

It didn't crash into the shuriken, nor did it use Dragon Breath to intercept it.

Instead, in mid-air, it swallowed the falling Li Qiu alive!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Huai was stunned. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

This darn Dragon... actually had such a move?

After swallowing its master, the Silver Dragon's massive body also couldn't stop its downward momentum.

"Boom—!"

It heavily crashed onto the street below, creating another bottomless giant pit in the already dilapidated ground.

Dust and rubble flew into the sky, completely engulfing that area.

High in the sky, Yasuo also recovered from his paralyzed state.

He quickly used shurikens to repeatedly teleport, landing steadily on the top of a tall building in the distance.

Gulping down a mana potion, Zhou Huai watched the swirling dust below with a grave expression.

Soon.

A triumphant burst of laughter emerged from the dust.

"Hahahahaha! That was close! So close! You almost got me!"

"As expected of my precious treasure, for which I spent so much money to cultivate, I can always count on you at critical moments!"

Amidst the laughter, the Silver Dragon's huge body flapped its wings again, slowly rising from the deep pit.

It hovered in mid-air, its huge Dragon Eyes fixed on Yasuo on the rooftop, filled with icy killing intent.

What surprised Zhou Huai was that.

Li Qiu's figure was not on the Dragon's back.

Could it be... he was still inside the Dragon's mouth?

However, the next scene made Zhou Huai's pupils suddenly contract to pinprick size.

The Silver Dragon slowly opened its mouth.

What came out, however, was no longer a Dragon's roar, but Li Qiu's human voice, carrying a hint of playfulness.

"I admit your strength truly surprised me."

"Your combat intelligence also far surpasses anyone I've ever seen."

"But I'm sorry."

"I'm destined to win this fight!"
